Planning - Cover Design

COVER DESIGN

Hi Blog! Today I'm gonna make a rough draft of my cover before I have my pictures to have it all laid out ready. 

Im starting in InDesign and going to use the first cover I made to make sure I make it conforming to all conventions.


I started with this sample picture and added a masthead using Paw Post (the title we decided on) and some preliminary design elements like the shapes.


Then, using canva and shapes, I made some puffs and plugs to make some article names and a bar at the bottom. For readability, I also included white boxes so it could contrast from the cover image.

This is gonna be really useful when I have the images and the articles decided so I can just plug it in quickly without much thought.
